It had a rather difficult lay-out with its hundreds of rooms. There is a legend about a monster - half man, half bull, eating young human beings every year sent from Athens, called the Minotaur, probably the son of Minos, the King of Crete - who lived in a labyrinth. Now historians say that the 'labyrinth ' could be the Palace of Knossos itself.
Minoans lived on Crete. They got their name from their legendary king, Minos. Minos built a large palace in Knossos. It was said to be so huge that you could easily lose your way. Some historians say that the palace itself was the famous labyrinth (you know, where the Minotaur lived).
